 Saying prayers in Public schools a good thing or a bad thing?
Yes I have a reason to ask this question.For one thing at my school which is public our headmaster has us take time in home room to quietly pray to ourselfs for about fifteen mins.
He actlly says ok students it is time to bow your heads and pray to god for a few mintunes.I am not lieing that is what he says.
Now I use this time to think of other stuff but some of my friends don't like it.Do you think it is wrong for this to be going on or not?JM

There is nothing wrong with praying anywhere. If you believe that someone is listening to you, then sit in silence and talk away. I do think that 15 mins is a bit extreme, as 5 mins could suffice.

Setting aside prayer time in school? I have gone to both public and private religious schools... if its a religous school you go to, well you knew what you were getting yourself into... If its a state school, that is unacceptable. Religion doesnt need to be taught in the school... that falls under what the family needs to teach the child, it isn't neccessary to make school time in to prayer time. If the kid wants to pray at school, they should be allowed... but the teacher making 15 mins prayer time infringes the boundary between church and state.... If your not from the US Jackie disregard, and I don't know all the rules in other countries but this is pretty lame as far I am concerned. If they tried pulling that shit on me at my highschool I would have been at the very next school board meeting ready to raise hell.

I think it's good just to have a few minutes thought to yourself. Even if you're just thinking about how bad the persons dandruff is in front.

No I don't agree with prayer sessions during school. I wouldn't want to have to sit there bored every day for 15 minutes.

Nope, it's stupid. I don't agree with it, athiests and agnostics sit there for 15 minutes being bored and if the principal is religious, chances are he'll be biased against people that don't follow his religion

Although I go to a catholic school, and we pray each morning, I don't think they should be mandatory ata public school 
If you had wanted religion a part of your day, then why not go to a catholic school?

It is wrong to have "prayer time" in a public school, seeing as it seperates non believers from everyone else. Now, if people want to pray at recess or lunch that's their business. It has no place in a classroom.
School is for learning, not talking to an invisible man who lives in the sky.

Well according to all scriptures and the bible it is a "he". So take that for what you want.

I thought the prayers were directed towards JC.
Catholics schools use the cross as their symbol.

If any principal tryed to do that to me there'd be hell to pay from me.
I don't take kind of arrogent people assuming that we all believe the same way they do.

SEPARATION of state and church!
Nonono! No prayers. State should be secular! There is no need to advance culturally accepted delusions.
If people have to talk to imaginary "friends" they can do so during lunch-break!
